Steps

1

Stop looking at whatever picture is bothering you.

2

Look at or listen to something that is artful, beautiful, harmonic, vivid (in a good way), rich, or joyful. For example, you might watch a TV show, look at other pictures, listen to some type of music you have often previously responded to with good feelings or joy, or try music you have no experience with. You also will find that you can quietly direct your thoughts to something that is pleasant and positive. Eventually, perhaps over a period of time, practice finding alternatives to TV and Hollywood movies, and other passive, vulnerable-making, non-experiences. Find ways to avoid all or most advertising, "public service announcements", and political "carnival tents" [propaganda and wisdom are two different things]. There is a virtually infinite offering of things to do that are positive, new and beautiful, and healthy -- you will prove that to yourself, if you continue to look for them.

Tips

If you want to watch TV, it would be better to put it on "Music Choice" (or another music source). Good channels include Soundscapes, Pandora.com, Bluegrass, your favorite Pop, Classical, and Christian Music.

"When you use your computer, often look for opportunities to learn something about computers and the Internet you did not know about -- indeed, never stop learning -- visit a site that is full of art and other harmonious things.

Make up a picture to retreat to, such as, say, zebras in front a fireplace or a banana grove at the top of a mountain -- your mind likes to think of happy, even silly, new things.

Warnings

Avoid something that will make you think of that specific picture.

Do not look at shocking sites for too long or you may have nightmares.
